Chega considers the proposal to add missions for PSP and GNR “humiliation”

This Friday, Chega considered that the proposal to supplement the mission for the PSP and GNR elements was a “humiliation” and would “cause further division and resentment”, and said that parliament would have to legislate on the issue.

“The government project not only does not solve this discrimination [entre a Polícia Judiciária e as restantes forças de segurança]“Because it has a more perverse effect, it increases this differentiation, no longer between different police forces, but between different sectors, positions, denominations within the police forces themselves,” said the Chegi leader.

Speaking to reporters at the Assembly of the Republic, Andre Ventura said the government’s proposal would create a “distinction between police officers depending on their category” in which “the greatest harm will be suffered by those who work in the field, when they are the ones at greatest risk.”

“If there was already a rift between the police, this project will create an even greater rift and more discontent,” he warned, deeming it “very unambitious” and showing the government’s “absolute lack of knowledge about the security forces.”

Chega’s president also said the executive “appears to be overlooking a number of other entities that would be fair to attribute this addition to,” such as prison guards, ASAE or the military.

Considering that “it is necessary to correct this situation”, Andre Ventura noted that Chega asked that her project to expand the additional mission assigned to the judicial police to all security forces be discussed in parliament on May 16.

“We hope that parliament will give a sign of openness to resolve this problem without further increasing the discontent that is already widespread among the security forces,” he said, believing that the government’s proposal was “very bad” and “it is better to leave the decision of parliament.”

Noting that the government “promised a number of things and now hides behind the phrase ‘no money’,” Ventura said the executive branch cannot “not do it and then complain that Parliament will solve the problem and legislate in its own way.” “manner”.

“In this matter, parliament must pass laws in its own way, because this proposal is a humiliation for the police,” he emphasized.

When asked if he had already started contacts to get his proposal approved, Leader Chegi said he would do so as soon as the debate was scheduled. Ventura said he would talk to everyone, starting with the SDP.

On Thursday, the government proposed a mission allowance for PSP and GNR elements ranging from €365.13 to €625.94, which would replace the current service and risk allowance in the security forces.
